Doctors Staple Aroldis Chapman Back Together: Cincinnati Reds pitcher Aroldis Chapman shared a photo of his stapled head on social media after surgery Thursday. The Cuban Missile was struck by a line drive in a spring training game Wednesday and suffered a broken bone above his left eye and a slight concussion. He told fans, "everything is fine thanks to God we are already out of any kind of trouble." Video of the play.

Herb Score, Bryce Florie, and now Aroldis Chapman. Score tried, but never really came back to what he might have been. Florie was, at best, a journeyman. Here's hoping that Chapman will get back to form. He could turn out to be a very good one.

I never thought about the mental side of it. Even if it's in his head for a while, I think he'll eventually overcome it and regain his dominant form. With a 100+ MPH fastball and a nasty power curve, his talent should rise.
